Not sure why people don't have the straight to navigation icon: it's still there in my App drawer and I just checked and it still works, taking me direct to tne new navigation screen - could it be related to 4.3 
Somewhat ironically, I never use the navigation icon and didn't have it on my home screen before the upgrade ..
As for maps error-ing, that sounds like some kind of incompatibility. Assuming it's not an incompatibility with your version of Androids (a bit of a rash assumption
), I think I would back everything up, do a factory reset, get maps back up to date if required, then try it again BEFORE installing anything else.
Assuming maps then works, I would start adding my apps back, one or two at a time, trying things for a day before adding back more apps .. until maps stops working. Then you have a pretty good idea which app to avoid.
If you don't want go through all that, you could try using something like OsmAnd until Google sort their .. stuff .. out
